How do you pursue a relationship with God when you’re exhausted?

July 26, 2018 by Aprille 4 Comments

Over the last few posts in my series, Grace: How a Recovering Legalist Moves Forward in Faith, I feel that I’ve done the best I can do to present theologically-sound, Scripturally-based truth about pursuing a relationship with God.

January 1, 2016 by Aprille 6 Comments

The cursor blinks on this white blank space. My mind and heart know exactly what I want to write – in idea. But what words to start with? 2015 marked 10 years since 2005. Which may not be a big deal to you, but it is to me. In 2005 I turned 18. I graduated … [Read more…]

No Matter What, I Believe: On Broken Faith and Healing Birth

October 31, 2015 by Aprille 7 Comments

August 25, 2015 – 39 weeks, 6 days I had originally planned to title this post “Strong enough? Finding the balance between female empowerment and dependence on God.” And I’m going to talk about that, I promise.
